63 - Open or short circuit in no. 2 solenoid valve "code before the clean and swap"

dont you think you should replace the solenoid, instead of just blowing fuses??

It aint gonna heal up..

i check the whole car found a melted relay next to my ecu change it, change the fuse and it was fix the car turn on and o codes showing drove it for about 5 miles and the fuse blew again, i took the car back home and i check the all the wires related to that relay and fuse the final cause was a cable that connected the fuel pump and the egr relay that was causing a short, i change the whole cable with a new one and it work fine is been a day i have no codes on engine or transmission at all, i did some research and the reason why i was getting the o/d flashing and code 63 was because the the cable was causing a short and the ecu will act like this

i guess if i would have taken the car to the dealer they would have not been able to find the problem and would have charge me arm and leg. i have a w202 i had an accelerating problem i took it to the dealer paid $250 and they didnt find ******. and it was the break light swith which cost me $30

Glad you found the problem. Sounds like the dealer you have gone to does not have qualified mechanics.
